Officiating Chief Election Commissioner Ram Prasad Bhandari urged users of mass media and content creators to avoid posting the contents generated by artificial intelligence that intend to fuel confusion and illusion. It is time to make the election a dignified exercise.  The media houses are also urged not to make poll surveys.   Such poll surveys disillusions voters, affecting their voting rights proposed by Election Code of Conduct, 2082.
